Which concept is crazier ? Evolution or creationism ?

Question

I often hear creationists saying how absurd it is that we "all came from a rock". But if you compare both theories, you will see that on the "crazyness scale", the creationist argument is quite a bit more crazy.

1. Evolution

Life is a result of an extremely complex series of chemical reactions billions of years ago which has over the following billions of years evolved into gradually more and more complex forms of life which has eventually lead to the evolution of humankind. Along the way there have been billions of splits and sub-splits that have lead to the development of and extinction of millions of species.

2. Creationism

6000 years ago a magic creator decided to create the earth and heavens in 6 days and then magically created a few animals and plants and then made a man from dirt and then using a rib from this man, made a woman and all this took place in a beautiful garden.

Evolution is not a perfect nor complete theory but when compared to the alternative....

Answer 1

They believe in talking snakes, human beings created from a pile of crap, or dirt, and massive supernatural floods at the hands of some omnipotent sky pixie in the clouds (who apparently ALWAYS existed, yet they can't scientifically explain how that's possible), and they call evolutionists crazy? The irony is killing me.

Take a look at the various EMPTY planets in the galaxy serving virtually no purpose whatsoever, and then ask yourself if evolution is so crazy after all.

Answer 2

creationism - or intelligent design, how they are trying to call it now is too flawed to even be considered a science. There is no other civilized nation on this earth that even looks at it in a scientific way and there are really no true scientist in the US that do - it is basically a few religious fundamentalists. End of story.

Evolution, while not perfect (nothing really is), certainly is complete and consistent with the knowledge we possess these days - of course this does not mean that things will change, or shall i say 'evolve' as knowledge grows, but it will remain an essentially intact theory.

It is further one of the bigger misconceptions that evolution excludes, or has no room for a higher being - it just assumes that nothing more but an initial impulse was necessary to get 'the show on the road'.... to me that makes for a much more powerful 'god', than one that has to build a chick from a rib of the dude.....and then regrets that he made them at all and floods the earth......

Answer 3

i'll take creation not for your silly reasons though here is a couple:
Evolutionary theory requires that, after one living creature was formed, it would have to evolve into still other kinds. Yet to do so would require immense changes in DNA and other things. Julian Huxley, a leading evolutionist, estimates that a terrific number of mutations would be necessary.
Yet each one of them would have to be totally accurate, or the creature would die In a later study on Mutations, we will learn that mutations always injure, maim, or kill; they never improve.

In a famous passage, *Darwin wrote that it made him sick every time he tried to think how the human eye could have been formed by chance.
Everything would have to be perfect and fully there at the very beginning. Yet the possibility of chance productions of simultaneous, perfect productions on many levels would, of course, be impossible
.
Crick, the co-discoverer of the DNA structure, announced this basic biological principle: What is in the body and what happens in the body—does not affect the DNA coding. Yet that means that one type of creature cannot evolve into a different one.

Conclusion. Chance cannot produce usable codes. It is only intelligence that can produce coded order. It is only intelligence that can replicate it.

The theory of evolution is not believed because of scientific evidence. It is believed DESPITE scientific evidence. Science is against the theory of evolution.

Answer 4

Evolution for sure, I recommend imagine about it: existence is the best results of an extremely complicated concept that asserts something got here from no longer something and over billions of years in the past advanced into steadily extra complicated varieties of existence which has finally bring about the evolution of humankind from monkeys. alongside the way there have been discoveries that instruct what nonsense it really is, like the 'digital' code in DNA which makes no sense without the conception of a clothier behind all of it. no longer to point the continually lacking hyperlink. This concept is opposite to what all of us understand to be real. layout, implies a clothier, something would not come from no longer something. for this reason, it really is smart there will be a higher means.

Answer 5

It's all in the wording what makes which idea look more rediculous. Try this one

1: God created man and everything nessisary for his survival on this planet

2: Nothing created anything, it all just kinda happened with no intelligence behind it. Life became out of nothing, lizards learned to jump high enough to eventually grow wings and man is the most intelligent being.

Now say it this way and evolution sounds even more rediculous.

Answer 6

If one believes that a living cell can come into existence by coincidence, then there is nothing to prevent one from believing a similar story that we will relate below. It is the story of a town:
One day, a lump of clay, pressed between the rocks in a barren land, becomes wet after it rains. The wet clay dries and hardens when the sun rises, and takes on a stiff, resistant form. Afterwards, these rocks, which also served as a mould, are somehow smashed into pieces, and then a neat, well shaped, and strong brick appears. This brick waits under the same natural conditions for years for a similar brick to be formed. This goes on until hundreds and thousands of the same bricks have been formed in the same place. However, by chance, none of the bricks that were previously formed are damaged. Although exposed to storm, rain, wind, scorching sun, and freezing cold for thousands of years, the bricks do not crack, break up, or get dragged away, but wait there in the same place with the same determination for other bricks to form. When the number of bricks is adequate, they erect a building by being arranged sideways and on top of each other, having been randomly dragged along by the effects of natural conditions such as winds, storms, or tornadoes. Meanwhile, materials such as cement or soil mixtures form under "natural conditions", with perfect timing, and creep between the bricks to clamp them to each other. While all this is happening, iron ore under the ground is shaped under "natural conditions" and lays the foundations of a building that is to be formed with these bricks. At the end of this process, a complete building rises with all its materials, carpentry, and installations intact. Of course, a building does not only consist of foundations, bricks, and cement. How, then, are the other missing materials to be obtained? The answer is simple: all kinds of materials that are needed for the construction of the building exist in the earth on which it is erected. Silicon for the glass, copper for the electric cables, iron for the columns, beams, water pipes, etc. all exist under the ground in abundant quantities. It takes only the skill of "natural conditions" to shape and place these materials inside the building. All the installations, carpentry, and accessories are placed among the bricks with the help of the blowing wind, rain, and earthquakes. Everything has gone so well that the bricks are arranged so as to leave the necessary window spaces as if they knew that something called glass would be formed later on by natural conditions. Moreover, they have not forgotten to leave some space to allow the installation of water, electricity and heating systems, which are also later to be formed by coincidence. Everything has gone so well that "coincidences" and "natural conditions" produce a perfect design. If you have managed to sustain your belief in this story so far, then you should have no trouble surmising how the town's other buildings, plants, highways, sidewalks, substructures, communications, and transportation systems came about. If you possess technical knowledge and are fairly conversant with the subject, you can even write an extremely "scientific" book of a few volumes stating your theories about "the evolutionary process of a sewage system and its uniformity with the present structures". You may well be honoured with academic awards for your clever studies, and may consider yourself a genius, shedding light on the nature of humanity.
The theory of evolution, which claims that life came into existence by chance, is no less absurd than our story, for, with all its operational systems, and systems of communication, transportation and management, a cell is no less complex than a city.

Answer 7

evolution takes time thousands of years. But God created the World and all the stars and Adam and Eve in just seven days and seven nights. God is the true miricle worker

Answer 8

Creationists laugh at the idea of men evolving from rocks. Evolutionists laugh at the idea of men being created from dirt.

I think the first one is crazier.

Answer 9

we have top minds working on the problem..

Evolution as a theory is a best guess as to how it happened. Creationism doesn't even attempt to explain how it happened, just that God caused it.

Answer 10

They're both a bit far fetched, but yes I understand what you're saying. Creationists say evolution is crazy, and it kinda makes you wonder if they ever stop and think about what they're saying.
